Hawks Pies is a cracking match-up as Hawks have stuttered a bit whilst Pies have found their form big-time in recent weeks – they are making a late run at the top 4 and could be a really good bet for the Grand Final as they are now producing what they have been capable of but not doing for a long time; their road form is excellent Tigers should see off a disappointing Blues Power Suns may be a really good open game with both potentially capable of winning well; the edge should be with the Power Roos are quite a low price to win at the under-siege Bombers but with Essendon’s recent two spankings in mind, this is probably justified Eagles Cats is hard to call, the hosts have improved recently whilst Geelong are either superb or average it seems Lions should see off Giants who did manage to win their first game two weeks ago! Dockers to win in Melbourne and Swans to easily brush off Saints look obvious calls but no value in those at all Bulldogs have been strong recently and can nick a win against the mis-firing Crows – Adelaide did well last week to beat the Roos but have been inconsistent and may struggle here to hold the resurgent Doggies

Pies +11.5pts (betfair) at 2.0 may be a good call – Hawks are a super side but the pies current form is really strong and this should be a close gameBulldogs are 2.16 (betfair) to beat the Crows and that is tempting

TradingFreo are just 1.04 to win at the Demons but with Melbourne starting recent games well before capitulating, there may be some value in laying Dockers and then backing them around the 1st quarter mark perhaps
